   I will believe that an AI model is conscious when someone runs a simulation of water on a GPU that can make someone wet.

   Consciousness is a physical phenomenon and only emerges from a specific set of substrates. Intelligence != consciousness.

      i think an alternate analogy would be roughly that consciousness is like a process with file descriptors connected to stdin and stdout, rather than elsewhere (which might be subconscious, a la gnu's screen or tmux, or just filesystem including device driver device special files).
